IBM Power5 Models
Use the full code on the system label to choose the right IBM i or System p POWER5 record before you price parts, support, or a replacement.
Start with the full code on the system label. The name may say eServer i5 or System i, and the operating system may now be called IBM i. The code is what keeps the model record accurate.
Choose the Power5 record from the label
| Code on the label | Open this record | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| 9405, 9406, or 9407 | IBM i model records | i5 and System i models from the 515 through the 595 |
| 7037, 9110, 9111, 9113, 9115, 9116, 9117, 9118, or 9119 | System p model map | AIX and Linux p5 or System p models from entry through enterprise systems |
| Four digits, such as 8950 | Feature code decoder | A processor or hardware option that still needs the full system label |
The 515 appears as 9406-515 in Midland's catalog and 9407-515 in IBM configuration documentation. The 515 record keeps both labels in their source context.

IBM System i 515 (9406-515 and 9407-515)
The System i 515 appears as 9406-515 in Midland's catalog and 9407-515 in IBM configuration documentation. Keep the code exactly as its source uses it before you price parts, support, or a replacement.
9406-525IBM System i 525 (9406-525)
You have a System i 525. Here is what that means now: a POWER5+ entry model whose activated capacity, IBM i level, software tier, I/O, and recovery evidence need to travel with every quote.
9406-520IBM eServer i5 520 (9406-520)
The 9406-520 is the IBM eServer i5 and System i 520 family. Match its configuration code before you use CPW, software tier, memory, disk, or partition limits in a support or replacement plan.
9406-550IBM eServer i5 550 (9406-550)
You have an i5 550 9406-550. Here's what that means in 2026: IBM's step-up Power5 server, outside IBM's standard support since staged 2019-2020 withdrawals.
9406-570IBM eServer i5 570 (9406-570)
You have an i5 570 9406-570. Here's what that means in 2026: one of the most widely deployed Power5 midrange models, outside IBM's standard support since staged 2019-2020 withdrawals.
9406-595IBM eServer i5 595 (9406-595)
You have an i5 595 9406-595. Here's what that means in 2026: IBM's flagship enterprise Power5 system, outside IBM's standard support since staged 2019-2020 withdrawals.
